After washing up, Millie went to the living room on the first floor, where the TV was playing the same
headlines.
âLowell Group Heiress Shocked as Winston Greer Rejects Her Proposal!â
Millie froze right before she drank her milk. Did that mean Winston chose to leave with Gloria?
âMorning, Mills.â Terrence came up to her and patted her on the head.
She looked up. âGood morning, Dad.â
âYou havenât watched the news, have you? Joanna Lowell tried proposing to Winston last night, but Gloria crashed the party! Oh, Gloria Meyer is still as fiery as before!â Terrence folded his legs on the couch and rested his arm on the armrest as he let out a belly laugh.
âItâs all Joannaâs fault for ruining everything for herself. Sheâs lucky enough to have a decent career, all thanks to our Mills, and she messed it all up!â Julia taunted when she descended the stairs and straightened her shirt.
Nodding, Terrence agreed, âThis is karma for being a homewrecker. Things wonât go well for her.â
Millie shot her parents a knowing look. Were they joining hands to comfort her? After all, they rarely badmouthed anyone.
âOkay now, time for you two to go to work,â urged Millie.
She brought her breakfast to the couch, where she ate the food and watched the news. Someone had filmed the interaction last night at the restaurant, where Gloria forced Winston to choose between his family and Joanna.

It was Joanna who personally promised Gloria sheâd break up with Winston so as not to put Winston in a difficult place.
Millie chewed on the toast in surprise. Had Joanna willingly agreed to break up with Winston?
Her phone started ringing. She answered, âHello?â

âMills, did the news? Did Joanna agree to break up with Winston?â Rachel asked with much
curiosity.
Smirking, Millie replied, âWhy are you gossiping instead of working?â
âOf course I need to call you and gossip about it. I think I saw you in the news!â
Millle paused when she recalled that she was indeed at the scene last night. Rachelâs vision was certainly
sharp.
Rachel urged her, âTell me. What happened?â
Millie turned off the TV and packed her breakfast. She left her house while telling Rachel everything that âhad occurred the previous night.
When Millie was near the hospital, she suddenly shifted the topic of conversation. âRachel, I have something to discuss with you.â

âGo ahead please, Ms. Caldwell,â Rachel teased her.
âSimon had wanted to talk about a partnership with you at the dinner party last time, but you were too occupied. I wonder if you have time to meet up with him and talk about it?â
âHo ho!â Rachel perked up. âWhatâs going on here? Are you pulling strings for your new boyfriend now?â
âNew boyfriend? Thatâs nonsense. Simon and I are just friends,â Millie immediately corrected her.
She smiled. âOh, are you just friendsâ? Well, I wonât take your request, then.â
âHey, donât do that.â Millie sounded exasperated. âGive him a chance.â
Rachel chuckled. âYou do know youâre talking to a woman who turned down Jake Webson, donât you?â
you as a friend. How about that?â Millie pouted. âIâm begging
After a short pause, Rachel chuckled brightly. âOf course I understand. You may give him my managerâs
contact.â
âThat sounds more like it,â Millie said, chuckling. They chatted a bit more before she hung up.
Millie had wanted to share the contact number with Simon, but she mistakenly sent it to Jake.
Uh oh.
Soon, she received Jakeâs message. âIs this the number of Rachelâs manager?*
